Python 3 bug 889784 (Distutils: Incorrect shared library extension on linux)

[Sandro Mani]

Hi,

Before submitting a review request for Pillow (which is a F19 feature 
[1]), I'd like to see bug 889784 [2] fixed. There is a patch attached, 
so it would only be a matter of rebuilding python3 with the patch.

Note that the find_library_file function of distutils is currently 
completely broken with python3 on linux do to this issue, so it would 
generally be nice to see it fixed (also reported upstream).

Thanks,
Sandro
